The University of West
Georgia announces that 117 first-year students will accept
membership into National
Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society for First Year Students on
Wednesday, April 4
at 7 in the Campus Center Ballroom.
The executive director of the national
organization, Dr.
Glenda Earwood, will deliver a keynote address to the inductees.
Founded in the
spring of 1924 at
the University of Illinois by Dean Maria Leonard, Alpha Lambda
Delta is a
national honor society that recognizes and encourages academic
excellence among
first-year students. Today,
Alpha
Lambda Delta has over 260 chapters throughout the United
States and more than 700,000 students have been initiated into
membership since
the first chapter was started more than 80 years ago.
Membership in Alpha
Lambda Delta
is open to full-time freshmen students who earn a scholastic
average of 3.5 or
better at a four-year college or university.
Alpha Lambda Delta
emphasizes
that educated persons have a responsibility to “have tolerance in
your dealings
with all persons, generosity in giving to those in need, and
insight into the
feelings of others” Earwood said. Members
are challenged to
make a “meaningful contribution to society.”
